Statement from the Right Worshipful the Town Mayor of Dover on the Death of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Our Queen, Elizabeth II, has been a constant source of support and strength throughout her reign. For many of us here in Dover, Her Majesty has been at the head of the nation for our whole lives. As a model of duty, public service and loyalty to our country, hinding-hindi siya malalampasan at sigurado ako na ibinibigkas ko ang matinding kalungkutan ng lahat ng mga Dovorians kapag sinabi ko kung gaano kahalaga sa amin ang Reyna at kung gaano siya mami-miss..

Inaanyayahan ko ang mga miyembro ng aming komunidad dito sa Dover na ibahagi ang kanilang mga damdamin ng pagkawala at kalungkutan at ipahayag ang kanilang malalim na pakikiramay sa pamamagitan ng pagpirma sa opisyal na Mga Aklat ng Pakikiisa para sa ating bayan sa mga tanggapan ng Konseho ng Bayan - Maison Dieu House sa Biggin Street, immediately behind the People of Dover War memorial. The Books of Condolence will be open from 9am until 4.30pm, Monday through Saturday from Friday 9th Setyembre.

Magpapadala ako ng liham na nagpapahayag ng matinding kalungkutan at malalim na pakikiramay mula sa mga tao ng Dover, gateway to England to the Palace. Our Union flags are already flying at half mast and I will be joining the Deputy Constable of Dover when he makes the official proclamation in the heart of Dover on Sunday 11th September at 1pm on behalf of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.
